On Ghost Singers, Lip-Syncing and Hip-Syncing

I’m tired of reading so much mean press on Milli Vanilli. I was in Baltimore recently to visit a young niece who is very sick in the cancer ward at Johns Hopkins Hospital there. Rob and Fab made an impromptu visit to the cancer ward prior to a concert.

For one hour they signed autographs and talked to many sick kids who otherwise would have never had the experience of seeing them in person.

I was there with my 12-year-old son, and Rob and Fab arranged tickets for us and several of the nurses to see the show that night. During the show, they dedicated “Blame It on the Rain” to all of the kids at the hospital, and sang “Happy Birthday” to one of the kids who was well enough to go to the show too. I can assure you that they did not lip-sync that “Happy Birthday”--and it was beautiful.
